The other day I was doing my weekly food shop when in conversation with the lady at the tills asked me what I studied and I replied telling her a Masters in Audio Production, she gave me a confused look. I tried to clarify what I meant by telling her that I am a music producer and also record and mix tracks. A moment of clarity came across her face and to my disappointment she replied quite enthusiastically telling me that she will 'keep an eye out for me on the Xfactor!'.

As you can tell it is hard to get across what a music producer actually does, the job roles can change in different situations and from record to record and can cause great confusion.

So what does a music producer do?

I came across an Avid article today which pretty much hits the nail on the head, so please take a look via the link below:
